MATTEL: The reason Robin is a bit large is simple- design logistics. If he was made in accurate scale to the show, there would not be enough plastic in his legs to hold up his body! Therefore adjustments were made.

...and since when did Mattel care if an action figure could stand up or not?

I will say that at SDCC last year the Mattel panel explained their side of the story in regards to the Robin scale issue and it made a lot of sense. Bases on his proportion to Batman his legs are sooooo spindly and his torso is larger than his legs,to do it in the proper scale and still give him articulation he was produced out of scale.
